Sony builds laptop using Formula One parts

  • Tweet this

Tx3hp_front_right Sony has built itself a good reputation over the years for having well-designed products, and it has now turned to Formula One for inspiration.

It has developed its latest laptops using carbon fibre laminate, a material better known for its use in F1 cars.

This also should mean the notebook is tough enough to handle a few knocks.

Available from mid July, the slim Sony TX3, weighs only 1.25kg, yet Sony is claiming a massive seven hours battery life for the product.

The weight is all the more impressive when you consider that it has a good sized
11in LCD screen.

It comes with an inbuilt webcam and mic,  so you can see your mates when talking to then, and if you use a product like Skype, video calls over the Internet will be free.

And to help keep those secrets safe, it comes with a fingerprint scanner, making it easier to keep prying eyes and partners out.
